Now there’s a name I haven’t seen in a while! Haardtek is back, being repped on A State of Sugar with his new song Memories. While the track is trance throughout the most part of its 8 minute duration, there’s a nice little garage-beat-style breakdown in there that creates a nice variation. Definitely one to check out for classic trance fans!

Ponies At Dawn: Amity – Album Release Party 13th January!
After what feels like a very short time since their last album, Ponies At Dawn are releasing their 10th album this Friday, 13th January. Entitled Amity, this album is similar to another project they carried out a couple of years ago, in that it consists entirely of remixes and collaborations! From regulars such as DJT, Reverbrony, and UndreamedPanic, to [relative] newcomers to the collective like bank pain, Sky Runner, and A Symphony of Two, this album is shaping up to encompass more artists than ever before on a P@D album.
To celebrate the release of the album, PonyvilleFM will be hosting a Live Release Party starting at 17:00 UTC / 12:00 EDT this Friday the 7th of October leading up to the album’s live play. Then, at 20:00 UTC / 15:00 EDT, the Ponies at Dawn album – Amity – will be played LIVE and in FULL, hosted by PonyvilleFM’s very own variety radio show, Lycan Dese Beats.
Immediately following the album’s release, Amity will be available from the Ponies at Dawn bandcamp for whatever price you’d like to pay (including $0). However, if you are so excited and just can’t wait, it is available as a pre-order right now starting from just $1. As with last time, all the money made by the album from donations on BandCamp will go towards the artists as thanks for the hard work put in to get on.
You can check out the album here: https://poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/album/amity

[P@D] R3CTIFIER & Phoxi – overwrite_deity | Neurofunk
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 11 January 2017.
R3CTIFIER and Phoxi are two of the best in the fandom at innovative sound design, so it’s pretty awesome to see them combine forces! This neurofunk track features some powerful percussive elements that dominate the first drop, whilst there’s some great neuro sound design that takes over a bit more in the latter part of the track.
Phoxi – Redolence | Tech House | Introducing: The HMC YouTube Channel
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 7 January 2017.
Phoxi is at it again with an awesome new tech house track! Often one to dabble in outlandish sound design, Phoxi is also able to show off here an ability to create a track that can immerse the listener rather than barraging them.
This track was featured on the Horse Music Central Volume 2 album, and also acts as the first release for their new YouTube channel where they’ll be showing off awesome new horse music on a regular basis!
ForeverFreest – I Don’t Complain (covering Luna Jax) | Acoustic
Continuing the chill train from earlier, here’s a nice little acoustic cover of Luna Jax’s hit I Don’t Complain. Lovely soft piano and drums accompany an acoustic guitar and Freest’s great voice in this wonderfully stripped-back piece, a pleasure to listen to!
Mane In Green – Morning Walk | Chillout
Start off the day with this appropriately titled track from Mane In Green. It starts off with some nice ambient pads and bell sounds, before a somewhat eclectic drumkit kicks in with a soft, half-time beat. And the twist of orchestral instruments in a mostly electronic track do this some wonders too!
Vahts – Fancy Mathmatics | Synthwave / Trap
Help someone let Francis use of them electronic music thingamajigs…
… and the result is actually alright, surprisingly catchy too. Check it out for something a bit different and experimental from our otherwise rock-orientated friend.
[P@D] MrMehster – New Wave (ft. N. Hollow) | Glitch-Hop
P@D 🎵 hype 👏 time 🕖 with 👏 Cider 🍺 Party 🎉 ! With the new Ponies At Dawn album dropping this Friday, the Cider Party pre-releases continue with this banger from the fantastic MrMehster and N. Hollow. I haven’t seen N. Hollow’s name since their last track with MrMehster, but they’re still just as sharp as ever – great to see fresh talent in the rap scene! Go check this out for an idea of what to expect this Friday…
TCB – Light Shines in You | Dubstep
This starts off as a very atmospheric piece but turns into something a little heavier later on. Although it’s somewhat short it’s a pretty nice take on Light of Your Cutie Mark from Crusaders of the Lost Mark.
Mortido Spectrum & SDreamExplorerS – The King | Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on
SDreamExplorerS has teamed up with musician Mortido Spectrum to deliver an epic metal track about King Sombra’s reclamation of the crystal empire. With some cool vocals and an even cooler instrumental, this is definitely a great collaboration! The piano at the start sets the mood well, and the awesome guitar sections help to build upon the atmosphere delivered by the vocals, both sung and spoken word. Make sure to check it out below!
